Bigotry

I have always hated the word religion. The term that should be used is  "Faith Practice",  A persons faith practice  defines them. My faith practice is Non-Denominational as a follower of Christ.

Wars, atrocities, and inhumanities have been committed in the name of religion.  More people have been murdered because of religion than what most people realize. The number varies in recorded history because people hide their dirt. I found that the numbers of 16 to 31 million are mentioned the most as the number of people murdered due to religion.

Self righteous bigots scream for anyone to hear that their beliefs are the correct and only truth. It is sad that when questioned they profess an absolute belief in the New Testament. When I question them as to why they step in to judge people in the place of God and do so by old testament standards, I get a "deer in the headlights" look.

A true and strong Faith Practice is a beacon for souls in need. This person has a command of presence that draws attention from those around them. Their inner peace given to them by God has others asking how they can be the same.

Notice that I did not say to win souls by hollering, skipping, and scooting condemnation. Take your ears away from the devil's whispering's. Here's something for thought. As children, we love our parents. We follow their rules because of this love. Don't beat a person with the Bible. Then to them its only a book of pain.  Teach them of God's love for us even when we are bad. Just like our parents, he will never leave us. Let the light of God shine from within you. The Bible then because something they want to read and not cringe from. Reading for knowledge brings the start of change.

I have been reading various face book posts as well as news feeds. Some of these authors are into serious verbal torture and bullying. A transgender person has a tough road in life. There is question as to whether this is due to a deep psychological problem or their brain is hardwired to the opposite sex from their body. All they want to do is answer the call of nature in the bathroom.

My question is who is going to be the pervert in charge of every bathroom? In order for the laws to be followed, somebody will have to say drop your pants or raise your skirts for inspection. There are other things that should be occupy your time. Take hunger for one. The following Bible verse says it the best.

Galatians 3:28King James Version (KJV)

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
